About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child shows a budding interest in nurturing play, fixing things, or needs a gentle introduction to caregiving. In this sweet early chapter book, a little girl named Dr. Anna runs a hospital for dolls and stuffed animals. Each chapter presents a new patient with a unique problem, from a doll with a missing button eye to a stuffed lion who has lost his roar. Dr. Anna uses empathy and incredible creativity to diagnose and treat each one, making them whole again. This story is a beautiful model of compassion, ingenuity, and the quiet confidence that comes from helping others. It's a perfect, gentle read for children who love their toys dearly and enjoy imaginative, problem-solving play.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The concept of "injury" is limited to toys and is always resolved positively and creatively. The approach is entirely metaphorical and secular. The resolution is always hopeful and successful.
